I didn’t have the time to add all her flashy emotes this time. I hope you are okay with that.

The present I got from Oniichan! "It was difficult for me to come up with a nice present, but maybe you’ll like it…" He said. My first time experiencing doctor fishes!! I was happy about Oniichan’s care.. I told everyone: "It’s not like that!! Your feelings are what make me happy. Really." Isn’t that right? I was so glad about Oniichan’s care, I was almost about to cry. And then I tried to get a shot of everyone from my family with their feet inside the pool. Ueto family and friends~ So happy~ Doctor fishes… when they tickled everyone!! What an uproar!!!! |
 |
At the sea… You can see my nephew and Oniichan’s girlfriend playing together…. Every night we played hide and seek while inventing a new rule each time!! Thanks to my nephew, every time I get asked: "What was the most fun in Okinawa?", I immediately answer: "Hide and seek!!!"… You can play things like hide and seek everywhere, can’t you?! (laughs) |
 |
Okinawan soba It was delicious!! Simple but out of this world. I want to eat it again. *cries* |
 |
..while deciding which program to watch, I took the picture before they’ve noticed! That back… isn’t Aya’s but her mom’s! People say we look really similar from the back. Mom and my nephew were getting along really well and dazed at the TV in the same pose! |

At the Nago Pineapple Park

Now to our next trip… Since we went to Naha with my nephew, I absolutely had to take him to the beautiful sea aquarium there… The very close manatees… Depending on each other~ It was too lovely!! Being kind and depending on other’s kindness… It’s one of the most important things for all of us who have a heart. |

An utsubo (moray eel)… Eh!? Utsubo!? This reminds me of the taiga dorama "Yoshitsune" where I played a character with the same name. Utsubo… so that’s how they look like… |

To everyone of the Ueto Family~!!
It brightened up~!!
Congratulations~!!
Hey, tell me~
How did you spend your New Year’s Day?
With who did you spend it? Whether you just finished with your work or got completely exhausted after studying so much, New Year’s Day is a very important and meaningful day.
Hey, hey~!
Are you looking at the picture!? Guess which sky that is~
The answer is~ Okinawa~
The Ueto Family consisting of 6 adults and 1 child went to Okinawa~
Instead of watching TV, we went out on several trips, had some really delicious meals and spent every night talking with each other about anything that came to mind… I cried when I received the letter from Oniichan… all in all I received a lot of love.
The Ueto Family is overflowing with love.
Really… it’s beyond just great.
We totally seem to able to convey this love with our words and our actions.
I guess it might be thanks to mom’s education…
It’s THE HAPPY News of 2010 that I was able to receive a "Thank you, Aya" from everyone.
I’m surrounded by such a family… a family that is able to refill my "love tank" in an instant despite being separated from them for such long times because of work…
Will this Ueto Family continue to exist every day without change?
This year I hope that I will be able to say "This didn’t change, huh~" to a lot of things again. Every day I will work hard towards this goal and count on the huge "vessel" of love and support of the Ueto Family~
Aya would like to send out a lot of love as well… to give you all a piece of the tremendous love that I’m receiving.
People who hold a lot of love, people who hold a lot of kindness within their hearts, such people have a lot of room to share this love, don’t they?
That’s the kind of person I would like to become.
That’s the kind of person I would like to be.
This year I’d like to be a person who can devote oneself to a lot of things again.
I’m loving all of you~
Thank you very much for reading such a long piece of text!!

This year’s topic~ Cooking for oneself!! and on that matter, somehow I bought a lot of ginger for this winter… I made myself stewed taros with a thick starchy kuzu sauce and a lot of ginger as well as ginger jako and a shijimi clam soup~ This went quite smoothly~ It’s odd praising it myself, I really would like you to taste it. ^^ My skills are improving~ By the way, the other day I also made a meat and potato stew!! |
 |
I suddenly got a couple of days off and went to a far away place. The 3 of us, my mom, a friend and me, stayed there for 1 night. It’s been so long that we’ve stayed in a private pension… it’s really nice~ It was so harmonious~ and so great~ On our way back we also went shopping clothes at an outlet mall. ^^ It was a really great holiday~~~ |
  |
We ended up in a pet shop… Ah~~~~ I want to meet those little fellows once more… They are so cute~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

I had LUNCH together with a friend and had some of my beloved chiffon cake~ I was a bit worried about the great amount of topping, but it was pure happiness for me again~ Amazing for a girl, huh!? |

I got invited to Ichiro Maki-neechan’s birthday party~ It was Ishii-okaachan who organized it and it was more than just beautiful with the smiling faces of all of the families… Simply amazing~ That night my 2 nieces came to stay overnight. We’ve told each other our love stories and stuff like that… Our girls club continued until the next morning~ Note: Ichiro, Ishii, Ueto and "the families" all are related to "Wataru Seken wa Oni Bakari", but of course that’s not the only time they’ve worked together. |
